Soon after A/P disconnection during approach to YBBN, spoilers were deployed to decrease IAS below 250 kts. At the same moment a handoff to Brisbane approach occured. Unfortunately, the APP frequency had been disturbed. I was able to listen to APP only, but unable to confirm/answer any message due to an endless ATIS from some other airport on the same frequency. I was even unable to switch to YBBN tower due to the way, how FS9 ATC works in IFR mode (tuning the freq manually did not help).
I continued to fly the approach according to instructions received earlier (ILS APP RWY 19), still playing with radios and trying to avoid the disturbing ATIS. To make things easier I switched on A/P Heading hold and Alt hold modes, but forgot to switch A/P master and ATH. A sudden stall occured when intercepting ILS RWY 19 and the aircraft was completely out of control. I recovered at no more than 600ft AGL, after several excessive manoeuvres, far below GS, but still was unable to stabilize the approach. Fortunately, after several seconds of panic (dark nigth, fog, zero visibility), I noted the two rows of yellow lights on my A320 panel and retracted those spoilers finaly. After climbing back to GS, the approach was standard but without contact with YBBN tower. I was able to tune GND and to request taxi to the gate as usually immediately after landing and leaving the RWY 19.
The cause of the accident is obvious. I forgot to retract spoilers while trying to solve problems with Comm radio. And I forgot to fly, to navigate, and to communicate in this particular order.
Well, I have a lucky day today. A very similar real world situation ended much worse. See http://sunnyday.mit.edu/accidents/calirep.html
